How to properly use an air purifier
Published Time:

The air filter's job is to filter out suspended particles from the air entering the cylinder to reduce wear and tear on the cylinder, piston, and piston rings. Of the three media required for engine operation, air is the largest in volume and comes from the atmosphere. If the air filter cannot effectively filter out suspended particles from the air, lighter particles will accelerate wear and tear on the cylinder, piston, and piston rings, while heavier particles can cause cylinder scoring, shortening the engine's lifespan.

I. Misunderstandings
1. Don't ask about quality when buying.
Because some maintenance personnel do not recognize the importance of the air filter, they only seek low prices and not quality, resulting in engine abnormalities soon after installation. Especially in the current market with many counterfeit and inferior products, it is necessary to compare prices from multiple vendors and choose carefully, always adhering to the principle of quality first.
2. Arbitrary removal during use
The engine must use a scientifically-based air filter.
However, some drivers arbitrarily remove the air filter, allowing the engine to directly inhale unfiltered air. Experiments on removing truck air filters show that after removing the air filter, engine cylinder wear increases 8 times, piston wear increases 3 times, and piston ring wear increases 9 times.
3. Maintenance and replacement not based on actual needs
Although mileage or operating time is specified as maintenance or replacement data in the air filter instruction manual, the maintenance and replacement cycle of the air filter is also related to environmental factors.
For vehicles frequently operating in dusty environments, the maintenance or replacement cycle of the air filter should be shortened; while for vehicles operating in less dusty environments, the maintenance or replacement cycle can be appropriately extended.
In actual operation, many drivers and maintenance personnel mechanically follow regulations without flexibly considering different factors such as the environment, and insist on waiting until the mileage reaches the standard or the engine's operating condition is significantly abnormal before performing maintenance. It should be noted that if maintenance is performed at this time, not only is the damage already caused irretrievable, but it can also cause greater harm. Even worse, some drivers may not even know that the air filter can fail and continue to use it as long as there is no visible damage.
